Stemlite Wall Lamp

Stemlite's wall version appears to grow organically out of the wall, with a steel arm that turns up 90 degrees and is topped with a bulbous frosted glass shade. Pioneered by Cali midcentury designer Bill Curry, the 1962 lighting series is considered the first "total look" lamp—– a single piece that combines die-cast metal base, bulb and mouth-blown glass globe as a self-contained unit. The wall lamp also includes a dimmer function via a simple cylinder-shaped rotary switch underneath that gently rolls between the fingers from “on” through “off.”
